Good morning from Latvia. VBS was terrific this morning. Christine, our friend/translator from years past, joined us today. What a blessing to see her.
As Professor Cora once again tried to explain the power of Jesus to Professor Wilma during Power Lab, the children were amused and taught a valuable truth. The Bible story was about Jesus asking Peter to take step of faith by walking to him on the water. We were reminded that we have the power to be brave because of Jesus in our lives. The kids were asked to get in the "boat," and as the waves crashed and the winds howled, they were told that with the power of Jesus there is no need to fear anything. What a tremendous lesson for these kids--for all of us.
Continue to pray for lives to be changed as we love on these children with the arms of Jesus. The time is passing much too quickly, but we have adopted the motto "carpe diem" as we don't want to lose a moment.
Pray for the leadership of the regions around each of the orphanages in Latvia. There are many government changes possible that would effect how these kids are cared for, and ultimately, what their futures in Latvia will be. These kids are so precious, and they must have hope. We will leave them with the truth that they can have hope in Jesus.
Love and hugs,
Cindy
